Point Rationing System Will Be Introduced Early In New Year Soon after dawn of 1943, California, like the entire nation will be introduced to the point rationing system, for ration books No. 2 already have arrived on the coast, and will be distributed at an early date. The reason for point rationing has been given by the OPA in the following words. "American armed forces are fighting on more and more battle fronts in continually increasing numbers. Our fighting forces and our allies must be sent more and more supplies, food and ammunition." "To assure our fighters in North Africa, in the Solomons, in the South Pacific, a sufficient quantity of everything they need, means but one thing. We must get along on less, if there is not enough for both civilians and the armed forces. "Where there is a shortage of essential commodities for civilians, what we have must be distributed fairly to all. That is why we ration—to provide those who are fighting and dying for us, with everything they must have in ord- er to win, and to assure each of us at home his fair share." Point rationing will not replace straight coupon rationing of sugar, gacoline and coffee. The system and War Ration Book two will be used for certain new rationing programs. In buying goods under the point system, you must, in effect, learn how to buy with two kinds of currency — money and point stamps. You must know both the money price and the point value of the commodity. You must give your grocer both dollars and cents and point stamps. Just as you now budget the money you can spend during each pay period, you must learn to budget your points so they will last for the entire ration period. When your blue A, B and C stamps are gone, you will not be able to buy any of these items for the rest of the month—no matter how much you are willing to pay in money. You will again be able to buy these items in the following month, when the blue D. E. and F stamps become valid. If you use up most of your 48-point-allowance on a few items with a high point-value, you will have to get along on less for the rest of the ration period. You must ask yourself not only whether you can afford the dollars-and-cents price of rationed commodities, but also, whether you can afford to "spend" your points in that particular way. If you shop for your family, you must plan the "spending" of the total number of points allotted to all the members of your family.

The Penney Company regards its more than 1600 stores, its more than 40,000 men and women associates, as a group of tremendous vitality and force in the war effort. In addition, helping shoulder to-shoulder, we include the thousands of people who supply us with what we sell; who in mills and factories all over the land produce with only one thought in mind: the speeding up of the war effort. But most important of all, are the millions who are our customers. They know that no sacrifice is too great for our common cause—and they make it—willingly and gladly. The Penney Company's job has always been to supply typical American families (people who live simply but well) with clothing and home furnishings at substantial savings. Those American Families are now the Home Front! It is their job to send an ever-increasing avalanche of supplies to those who are fighting our battles on the far-flung war fronts of the world. Those American families, that Home Front, can count on us to continue our efforts to supply the good American merchandise they must have to keep fit for their great task. We will continue, unremittingly, our efforts to secure their needs at savings: Today it is more than good sense and good management to save—Thrift and Savings are now an imperative duty. PENNEY'S J.

These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago Jan. 3, 1918 Hundreds of people from Anaheim and its vicinity attended the Tournament of Roses at Pasadena Tuesday. The day was an ideal one, consequently the Crown City was overcrowded. It is estimated there were 45,000 autos and 150,000 visitors in the city. The parade was three miles long and it required just one hour for it to pass a given point. Anaheim's float was conspicuous in the procession and was loudly cheered by the local contingent. The chief attraction of the Pasadena midwinter show to a number of Anaheim high school boys was the football game between the Army and Navy. A large delegation went up from here and saw the Navy win by a score of 17 to 9. Malvern Hill Post G. A. R. recently elected officer for the year 1918. Rev. A. B.
